The set recreates the final battle from Inui's perspective, with Takumi's car rendered only on the diorama sheet rather than as a separate mini-car.

Hobby Japan is taking pre-orders on Amazon for a 1/64 scale die-cast car and diorama set based on the final battle in Initial D volume 48. The set centers on Shinji Inui's AE86 2-door Trueno, with a diorama sheet depicting Takumi Fujiwara's AE86 3-door hatchback Trueno. It is priced at 2,970 yen and scheduled for release on March 31, 2027.
The set is part of Hobby Japan's 1/64 Initial D Diorama Set Series. The die-cast model captures the late-model 2-door Trueno's front mask and body shape. The diorama sheet shows the corner battle, with Takumi's 3-door Trueno drawn in and Inui's car facing it. The model is a non-moving display piece with no opening doors, retractable headlights, or hood. The photos are prototypes. Pre-orders are open on Amazon at 2,970 yen, with release set for March 31, 2027.
